Manzano chose to examine augmented reality as an aesthetic because culturally, society has become increasingly voyeuristic. Algorithms have curated our digital experience, and our social media feeds have become faster and shorter, ranging from glimpses into strangers’ everyday lives to scenes of chaos, accidents, unqualified people pitching ways of thinking, and snake oil salesmen of all sorts. Society is spending more time indoors, experiencing another dimension of life vicariously through screens. Manzano doesn't see this as inherently good or bad; rather, he views it as preparation for a different way of life, the specifics of which remain uncertain. However, we are gradually approaching a future where wearing AR headsets constantly could be as common as carrying a phone is today. In a decade, it may be the norm. But what implications does this hold for our perception of reality? Constantly having a heads-up display presenting information or being able to visually manipulate our surroundings for our personal viewing—does this blur the lines or become a new type of reality? For a while, we've regarded our perception of the physical world and its events as reality, distinct from the intangible digital world. However, this demarcation is no longer so clear-cut. For those born into a world where this distinction was clearly defined, this shift may seem like a daunting, ambiguous leap. But for future generations, it will simply be the reality they must navigate with the same sincerity and problem-solving skills we apply in our present understanding of reality.
